      She took a plea bargain. Without her as a witness, SBF probably doesn’t get convicted of nearly as many charges. If you read the article, there was a distinct possibility that she wouldn’t do any jail time at all. The judge was relatively harsh with the 2 year sentence in this case.

      So this sentencing has essentially nothing to do with her wealth.
